Possible Causes

Stuck or dirty float switch, failed electronic water level sensor, wiring issue between sensor and control board, control board misreading level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power and shut off water supply before working inside the water reservoir area.

  • Locate water level device: Depending on model, Amana ice makers use either a mechanical float switch or an electronic water level sensor in the reservoir.
  • Clean reservoir and float: Drain the reservoir. Remove mineral buildup and slime using a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Ensure the float moves freely up and down.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the float or sensor wiring for damage and ensure the connector at the control board is secure.
  • Test float switch: For mechanical floats, use a multimeter to check continuity while moving the float. Replace if it does not open/close properly.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If an electronic level sensor is used and tests out of spec per the tech sheet, replace it with the correct Amana part.
  • Reassemble and test: Refill the reservoir, restore power and water, and observe a full cycle for proper fill and drain behavior.
